ComplicationsAnansi’s Web: Cub has been caught up in the schemes of Anansi the Trickster before, and may be again.Animal Nature: Cub sometimes loses himself in the primal nature of the animals he mimics, particularly when he taps into the Red without the Tantu Totem in his possession.Fiercely Patriotic: Cub likes to help his friends and fight villains, but any danger to Wakanda may cause him to leave instantly and protect his land.

Background:Gerald von Nachtburg is the last descendant of an impoverished German noble family. He inherited the secret birthright of the oldest living descendant of his line. Nobody knows the source of this power.But he certainly knows how to use it and made continuous advancements during his carrier. Starting as a simple robber by shadowstepping into bank vaults, he later learned to give the darkness substance, forming tendrils and even becoming one with it. Lacking any natural stealth skills, he is less a ninja and more a thug in elegant clothes, using most peoples uneasiness with darkness to intimidate them.

His last heist:His last heist went much worse than he anticipated. He hates Paris, but he loves jewels and pearly, epically black ones. so he couldn't resist the "Tresor Noir" exhibition. Shadowstepping in after closing, overpowering and -bearing the guards, slithering under the laser alarm as a shadow... all peanuts. But than this cursed hero showed up, all bright and shiny. Gloom made it a good fight, but was somehow tricked and captured in a bubble of glowing light. But that was fine, no European prison could hold him.Sadly the judges must have though the same and transported him to America to a special prison...

The man who beat him and the others as they tried to mug him sensed in his moves not only potential for greatness, but also that he was holding back, trying not to permanently hurt an innocent man.As a martial arts instructor in a local dojo, he offered him training and shelter. James was soon good in many styles, but excelled in the Philippine stick-fighting art Escrima.

Growing up and becoming a teacher was great. Finding his true love was even better. But it was then when fate hit him hardest. His gang was now led by one of the others that were accompanying him on the botched robbery that changed his life.

James fought valiantly, holding his own versus fists, knifes and clubs. But he couldn't dodge bullets.With Monica killed they left him dying in the alley. He was brought in the hospital and it seemed he had some epileptic shock after being diagnosed to never walk again.

The shock, trauma and grief triggered something in him, a latent mutation lain dormant so long.

First it channeled inward, throwing his healing capabilities in overdrive. Shocked and not sure what happened, he faked still needing a stick to walk properly. The healing ability was gone again.

He soon realized that he had now access to inhuman speed, that also improved his coordination, letting him execute martial arts move much to advanced for him before. Working as part time instructor and writing articles for various martial arts magazines, he started his vigilante career...

Taking his name from a local urban legend about a greyhound that hunts the wicked boys, able to outrun anyone, he became "Greyhound".

COMPLICATIONSAccident: To an elephant, the entire world is small and fragile. It is not difficult for him to cause accidents without meaning to: just brushing past a lamppost may knock it down and just walking on a street can leave foot-shaped holes.Quirk: Dimension Unfamiliarity – This isn’t Rough-Hide’s home dimension and he is missing occasional basic knowledge.Prejudice – Strange Appearance.Secret - Low-level criminal from another dimension.

History: Jeremy was just a low-level crook former bodyguard working in a small club in Furrydom City. He lost his former job when he hanged around with the wrong crowd and his life got in a downward spiral then. A venture of Freedom City's Atomic Family finally provided a way out. Jumping after them through a glowing portal as they returned to their home dimension, he found himself in a strange new place, with hairless apes all around. He quickly discovered that his counterpart of this world was even more unlucky than himself, dying in a bullet storm. He quickly left the city and the possibility of the discovery of his true identity behind...Just a few days later, he arrived in Emerald City and paid a shadowy figure for a fake human identity. Now he just thinks about the right way how to revel his "new" self to the world, not knowing that a Storm is going to hit soon...

Personality: Rough-Hide is surprisingly protective and gently, despite his powerful physical presence and intimidating demeanor. Unless in the midst of a battle, he takes great care to not destroy anything or injure anyone. This was much less a problem in his home dimension and he has sometimes problems to cope with the harshness of "reality".

Secret IdentityMotivation: Doing-GoodQuirk: First tries to use his "special" arrows, even if using normal ones is the obvious and easy choice.

Background:Maximilian Archer was a normal employee in a weapon design studio. Not particularly bright, Max had still a knack and interest in weapon construction, particularly personal ranged weapons.

This changed as some strange meteor nearly killed him on his way back home. He barely avoided the rock and crashed with is car near it. Not particularly big to begin with, it outer layer dissolved itself to a heavy gas that subtly changed Max, increasing his acrobatic abilities and coordination to Olympic levels. Only the meteors core remained. Analyzing it, Max find out it was made of a previously unknown metallic alloy.

Using the new alloy, Max built a flying harness and a plethora of specialized arrows to live his dream, not only constructing weapons, but actually using a bow and becoming a sort of modern flying Robin Hood.

Sly had two distinguishing traits since his childhood that made him never popular with others. A near compulsion to play pranks and an unhealthy fascination for fire. Being raised in an orphanage didn't help much. Not that his charming demeanor and emerald eyes didn't enchant possible foster parents, but the increased arson risk and other strange happenings let him never come through the probation period.

As an adult, he was bright charismatic and a bit ruthless. Just the right traits for a successful con artist.

He seems like an unlikely agent to bring order to the chaos, but order is good for business and humans should be allowed to make their own (bad) decisions.

(Martian Manhunter analogue mentor and a chameleon boy like character (chick).)

Mentor:The VisitorH'mer D'rak was a kind of super-soldier experiment of the Regime that controlled his planet and it's solar system that added telepathic and shapeshifting power powers to his already impressive strength and resistance. But the mental powers he gained were strong to overcome their telepathic control. Joining his planet's freedom fighters, he later secretly traveled to another solar system the Regime wanted to conquer.Arriving on Earth during WW 2, he quickly joined the heroes of this planet that fought against the Regime's human allies. Called 'the Visitor', the name stuck.He was later able to return to his home planet, as the evil Regime was finally beaten. Being now one of the elected leader of his people, he is also sent on a diplomatic mission to help the planet of his former allies and looking for potential ways for the both planets to work together.More often than not, his mission include saving the planet with the other heroes of Earth's foremost superhero team. Nothing says "trust" more than saving life.

Protege:Xeno-MorphRipped through time and space, the Nequadian 'teen' Dregg Draggl appeared on 21st century earth more than slightly confused.Only months before he joined the Cosmos Legion, a big organization of exceptional young people from all over the galaxy. In hindsight, he should have known better than volunteering to Mega Brain's tachyon experiment...Stranded at this time and space, he tries to follow the heroes of the old (who are living now), by becoming a superhero. He secretly hopes that his extended stay means that the historic records show somehow his importance for this period and not that his inventor friend has just given up on time traveling or assumes him dead.His mentor, the Visitor, is the later "Great Uniter" who will later "discover" Dregg's home-planet and will bring his people in contact with the galaxy at large.He is somewhat of a fan-boy and desperate to make (enter teen team name) work, as it did in the legends. It would be really bad if his presence would cause them to fail.Dregg is quite a source of relief as he is the living proof that the things "can" work out.

Complications:Motivation (Responsibility): Making sure his Utopian future comes into being.Quirk: He is neither from the time nor place, so he tends to be confused about things that are obvious to others.

Background:The Durlan 'teen' Dregg Draggl hated his lif on the xenophobic planet Durla. But the stories about Chameleon Boy and his adventures and victories with the Legion of Superheroes kept his hope alive. Finally he took a great risk, fleeing attached to a spaceship that briefly landed on Durla during an investigation.After arriving on Earth he instantly applied to become a member of the Legion, but they just lost some members shortly before in a cataclysmic fight and voted to take no new members for some time until they revised their safety standards and entrance exams.Not wanting to leave just yet, he volunteered to Brainiac's latest tachyon experiment which should enable him to transport someone into a "hardened time stream"...Ripped through time and space, appeared on 21st century earth more than slightly confused, Dregg tries to follow the heroes of the old which were the inspiration of the Legion (and who are living now), by becoming a superhero himself. He secretly hopes that his extended stay means that the historic records show somehow his importance for this period and that his inventor friend has just not given up on time traveling or assumes him dead.During the "jump", his antennas were slightly hurt, decreasing the versatility of his shapeshifting powers. He has some "standard" shapes he learned of his way and can still assume any outward appearance, but copying any powers of assumed shapes became extraordinary tiring.

Complications:Predjudice: Blue AtlanteanWeakness: Blue Shark dehydrates when away from water for an extended period of time, becoming impaired, disabled, and finally incapacitated before his condition becomes life threatening. Immersion in water immediately removes all accumulated conditions.

Background:Anud Melado was born with blue skin and the ability to breath air, rare traits among the Atlanteans. After becoming an accomplished hunter and warrior, earning the nickname "Blue Shark", his mentors told him to learn from other aquatic heroes who were able to exist on land. This way he met Neptune Perkins, his wife Tsunami and, more important, their blue skinned daughter Deep Blue. They became lovers, but as differences grew, they decided to separate but stay friends in favor to waiting until they start to despite each other.He joint an elite Atlantean fighting force, where he learned to fight with the trident and was given his armor and weapon.But his blue skin and the unknown origin of his mutation tainted the connection to his people. As Aquaman and Aqualad became more active in the surface world, he quickly followed, taking his favored weapon and armor with him.On the surface he is still a blue Atlantean, but humans have grown more accustomed to strange looking heroes than the ocean dwellers who sometimes even despise their rightful king..

He was shocked when his mother died in an accident and the children where put into different foster families.He became adapt at "behaving" while with his "family", but quickly learned that one has to provide for his own, establishing himself as a thief and con artist.Selling the wrong item to the right person, he was never been expected to receive the money for his work. Dodging bullets and finally hiding in the mud, he saw a strange light and heard a loud noise before loosing consciousness. As he awoke, he had somehow acquired the ability to turn into living clay, even to simulate intricate structures and colors with hard concentration.

COMPLICATIONSSecret: The Regime in the past and now it's remaining loyalists adduct, operate and vivisect other species, including humans. They are known as 'Greys'.Enemy: Sometimes Regime loyalists try to attack and plan against him.Prejudice: His natural form may scare people and let react them xenophobic and distrusting.Identity: D'lyn cares more about his students and Dylan's friends that he admits. He wants to keep them save from his enemies.

History: H'mer D'rk, the first Visitor was a kind of super-soldier experiment of the Regime that controlled his planet and it's solar system. But he developed strong enough mental powers to overcome their telepathic control. Joining his planet's freedom fighters, he later secretly traveled to another solar system the Regime wanted to conquer.Arriving on earth during WW 2, he quickly joined the heroes of this planet that fought against the Regime's human allies. Called 'the Visitor', the name stuck.He was later able to return to his home planet, as the evil Regime was finally beaten. Being now the elected leader of his people, he sent his son on a diplomatic and help mission to the planet of his former allies.

Background: D'lyn gladly took the opportunity to proof himself on this diplomatic and help mission.After trying sometime to get familiar with Earth's customs and and generally different situations, he decided to no longer heed his father's advise to not get to attached to the native species, because they are short-sighted and -lived. He used his shapechanging abilities to take a secret identity as a high school science teacher and uses it to study the humans and their social interaction. He hasn't inherited his father's mental powers it seems, but his knack for shapeshifting is even stronger than the ability most of his species.His first ventures into being a superhero were hard, as the people just didn't recognized his different forms as him and (understandingly) panicked seeing the alien forms. He since grew accustomed to make his forms gray and include a "V" image somewhere obvious to make it easier for others to recognize and remember him. This starts to work.

Personality: D'lyn is motivated by his curiosity and strong sense for justice. This justice is not always the same as the local law, but he had grown accustomed to it over the years.He seems sometimes uncaring and aloft, but it is a facade, hiding his true feelings to the people surrounding him.
